Hi there, I have visited Ireland many times and I think one of the best ways to get acquainted with Dublin is to take a bus tour. Dublin is a great place and offers everyone wonderful shopping, entertainment options, vibrant theatre and more traditional pubs. There are more to see in the city including the Guinness Factory, Trinity College, Grafton Street, Temple Bar Dublin Castle, St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Dublin Zoo, etc., Especially good for someone with a lot of time to spare in the city. The St. Stephens green is a large (27 acre) peaceful oasis which is located in the middle of City. It has many statues including memorials to Yeats and James Joyce. I prefer this place to go in the summer time for having lunch, to feed the ducks, wander around and see the beautiful display of flowers and fountains.

Don't miss the Dublin Butterfly House. It is a beautiful butterfly tropical fantasy world which is located in the heart of Fingal. You will get pleasure of watching a caterpillar become a beautiful butterfly, so don't miss this chance.

The Grafton Street is a Dublin's smartest shopping area with fashionable stores such as Brown Thomas, the department store. You can shop around here.

There are loads of nice restaurants, clubs, bars etc. Believe me, you won’t be short of things to do.

Well, like all of visitors, I’ll be back in Dublin again. Soon….
